Korean companies dominate the smartphone and tablet markets right now. They also make increasingly popular automobiles and their pop culture has global recognition. However, if you're a child of the 80s, then Japanese objects of desire like the Sony Walkman or the Honda S2000 have more appeal than anything Koreans make. Today, we caught wind of a gadget from Sony that has the same bigger-than-life vibe as Game Boy used to. It's called Sony Xperia Z3 and it's a compact table. With so many cool car games around, you may want to check this out.
What's so special about that? Just wait and see! Revealed yesterday, the  Xperia Z3 Tablet Compact is supposed to be the most powerful device in its class. However, we're more interested in the fact that it will work seamlessly with the PlayStation 4 controllers we know and love.

Playing racing games on the go could be the easiest thing ever with this combo. No more stupid, fidgety touchscreen controls or small PSP screens.

So how does the hardware work? There's a special mount that clips onto the PS4 controller and attaches to the tablet using a suction cup. This is the only table in the world right now that has PS4 Remote Play. The Z3 has an 8-inch full HD screen and is only 6.4mm thin. The processor is a 2.5 GHz quad-core, while the battery is supposed to last for up to 13 hours (the way we play, that's not going to happen).

Mihnea's favorite cars have already been built, the so-called modern classics from the '80s and '90s. He also loves local car culture from all over the world, so don't be surprised to see him getting excited about weird Japanese imports, low-rider VWs out of Germany, replicas from Russia or LS swaps down in Florida.
